CHAPTER  ON   MOULDINGS. 


MOULDING.—  A  general  term  applied  to  all  the 
varieties  of  outline  or  contour  given  to  the  angles 
of  the  various  subordinate  parts  and  features  of 
buildings,  whether  projections  or  cavities,  such  as 
cornices,  capitals,  bases,  door  and  window  jambs 
and  heads,  etc.  The  regular  mouldings  of  Classi- 
cal architecture  are,  foe  fillet,  or  list;  the  astragal, 
or  bead ;  the  cyma  reversa,  or  ogee;  the  cyma  recta, 
or  cyma;  the  cavetto,  or  hollow;  the  owlo,  or  quar- 
ter-round; the  scotia,  or  trochilus;  the  torus,  or 
round;  each  of  these  admits  of  some  variety  of 
form,  and  there  is  considerable  difference  in  the 
manner  of  working  them  between  the  Greeks 
and  Romans.  They  are  represented  on  page  v. 
The  mouldings  in  Classical  architecture  are  fre- 
quently enriched  by  being  cut  into  leaves,  eggs 
and  tongues,  or  other  ornaments,  and  sometimes 
the  larger  members  have  running  patterns  of 
honeysuckle  or  other  foliage  carved  on  them  in 
low  relief;  the  upper  moulding  of  cornices  is 
occasionally  ornamented  with  a  series  of  project- 
ing lions'  heads. 

In  middle  age  architecture,  the  diversities  in 
the  proportions  and  arrangements  of  the  mould- 
ings are  very  great,  and  it  is  scarcely  possible  to 
do  more  than  point  out  a  few  of  the  leading  and 
most  characteristic  varieties.  In  the  Norman 
style  the  mouldings  consist  almost  entirely  of 
rounds  and  hollows,  variously  combined,  with  an 
admixture  of  splays,  and  a  few  fillets  (page  v. ,  fig. 
C);  the  ogee  and  ovolo  are  seldom  to  be  found, 
and  the  cyma  recta  scarcely  ever  ;  in  early  work 
very  few  mouldings  of  any  kind  are  met  with, 
and  it  is  not  till  the  style  is  considerably  ad- 
vanced that  they  become  numerous  ;  as  they  in- 
crease in  number,  their  size  is,  for  the  most  part, 
proportionably  reduced.  One  of  the  most 
marked  peculiarities  of  Norman  architecture  is 
the  constant  recurrence  of  mouldings  broken  in- 
to zig-zag  lines  ;  it  has  not  been  very  clearly 
ascertained  at  what  period  this  kind  of  decora- 
tion was  first  introduced,  but  it  was  certainly  not 
till  some  considerable  time  after  the  commence- 
ment of  the  style ;  when  once  adopted,  it  became 
more  common  than  any  other  ornament,  and  it  is 
frequently  used  in  great  profusion ;  it  may  be 
made  to  produce  great  variety  of  effect  by  chang- 
ing the  section  of  the  mouldings  and  placing  the 
zigzags  in  different  directions  (figs.  A  and  B,  page 
v. ;  fig.  J,  page  vii.).  About  the  same  time  that 
the  zigzag  appeared,  other  ornaments  of  various 
kinds  were  introduced  among  the  mouldings,  and 


are  frequently  met  with  in  great  abundance  ;  two 
of  the  most  marked  are  the  billet,  and  a  series 
of  grotesque  heads  placed  in  a  hollow  moulding, 
with  their  tongues  or  beaks  lapping  over  a  large 
bead  or  torus  ;  but  of  these  ornaments  there  are 
many  varieties,  and  the  other  kinds  are  incalcula- 
bly diversified.  (Page  vii.,  figs.  E,  F,  K,  L.) 

In  the  Early  English  style,  the  mouldings  be- 
come lighter,  and  are  more  boldly  cut  than  in 
the  Norman  ;  the  varieties  are  not  very  great, 
and  in  arches,  jambs  of  doors,   windows,  etc., 
they  are  very  commonly  so  arranged  that  if  they 
are  circumscribed  by  a  line  drawn  to  touch  the 
most  prominent  points  of  their  contour  it  will  be 
found    to    form    a   succession    of    rectangular 
recesses,  as  a,  b,  c,  d,  e ;  they  generally  consist 
of  alternate  rounds 
and    hollows,    the 
latter  very  deeply 
cut,  and  a  few  small 
fillets  ;    sometimes 
-.,  also     splays     are 
fused  ;  there  is  con- 
fsiderable  inequali- 
'  ty  in  the  sizes  of 
the  round  mouldings,  and  the  larger  ones  are 
very  usually  placed  at  such  a  distance  apart  as  to 
admit  of  several  smaller  between  them  ;  these 
large  rounds  have  frequently  one  or  more  nar- 
row fillets  worked  on  them,  or  are  brought  to  a 
sharp  edge  in  the  middle,   as  at  Haddenham, 
Great  Haseley,  etc.,  (figs.  D,  G  and  M,  page  vii.); 
the  smaller  rounds  are  often  undercut,  with  a  deep 
cavity  on  one  side,  and  the  round  and  hollow 
members  constantly  unite  with  each  other  with- 
out any  parting  fillet  or  angle.     The  ornaments 
used  on  mouldings  in  this  style  are  not  numerous, 
and  they  are  almost  invariably  placed  in  the  hol- 
lows; the  commonest  and  most  characteristic  is 
that  which  is  known  by  the  name  of  the  tooth- 
ornament,  which  usually  consists  of  four  small 
plain  leaves  united  so  as  to  form  a  pyramid,  but  it 
is  sometimes  worked  differently,  and  at  the  west 
door  of  St.  Cross  Church,  Hampshire,  and  the 
chancel-arch  of  Stone  Church,  Kent,  is  composed 
of  small  bunches  of  leaves  ;  these  ornaments  are 
commonly  placed   close   together,   and   several 
series  of  them  are  frequently  introduced  in  the 
same  suit  of  mouldings  ;  the  other  enrichments 
consist  chiefly  of  single  leaves  and  flowers,  or  of 
running  patterns  of  the  foliage  peculiar  to  the 
style.

CHAPTER    ON    MOULDINGS. 


The  decorated  mouldings  are  more  diversified 
than  the  early  English,  though  in  large  suits 
rounds  and  hollows  continue  for  the  most  part  to 
prevail;  the  hollows  are  often  very  deeply  cut, 
but  in  many  instances,  especially  towards  the  end 
of  the  style,  they  become  shallower  and  broader; 
ovolos  are  not  very  uncommon,  and  ogees  are 
frequent;  splays  also  are  often  used,  either  by 
themselves  or  with  other  mouldings;  fillets 
placed  upon  larger  members  are  abundant, 
especially  in  the  early  part  of  the  style,  and  a 
round  moulding,  with  a  sharp  projecting  edge 
on  it,  arising  from  one-half  being  formed  from  a 
smaller  curve  than  the  other,  is  frequently  used; 
this  is  characteristic  of  decorated  work,  and  is 
very  common  in  string-courses;  when  used  hori- 
zontally the  larger  curve  is  placed  uppermost; 
there  is  also  another  moulding,  convex  in  the 
middle  and  concave  at  each  extremity,  which, 
though  sometimes  found  in  the  perpendicular 
style,  may  be  considered  as  generally  character- 
istic of  the  decorated.  Fillets  are  very  frequently 
used  to  separate  other  members,  but  the  rounds 
and  hollows  often  run  together,  as  in  the  early 
English  style  (fig.  H,  page  vii.).  The  enrich- 
ments consist  of  leaves  and  flowers,  either  set 
separately,  or  in  running  patterns,  figures,  heads, 
and  animals,  all  of  which  are  generally  carved 
with  greater  truth  than  at  any  other  period  (figs. 
I,  P,  Q,  R,  page  vii.);  shields,  also,  and  fanciful 
devices,  are  sometimes  introduced;  the  varieties 
of  foliage  and  flowers  are  very  considerable,  but 
there  is  one,  the  ball-flower,  which  belongs  espe- 
cially to  this  style,  although  a  few  examples  are 
to  be  found  of  earlier  date;  this  is  a  round  hol- 
low flower,  of  three  petals,  enclosing  a  ball. 
(Figs.  N  and  O,  page  vii.) 

In  the  perpendicular  style,  the  mouldings  are 
generally  flatter  and  less  effective  than  at  an 
earlier  period;  one  of  the  most  striking  character- 
istics is  the  prevalence  of  very  large,  and  often 


shallow,  hollows;  these  sometimes  occupied  so 
large  a  space  as  to  leave  but  little  room  for  any 
other  mouldings;  the  hollows  and  round  members 
not  unfrequently  unite  without  any  line  of  sepa- 
ration, but  the  other  members  are  parted  either 
by  quirks  or  fillets;  the  most  prevalent  moulding 
is  the  ogee,  but  rounds,  which  are  often  so  small 
as  to  be  only  beads,  are  very  abundant,  and  it  is 
very  usual  to  find  two  ogees  in  close  contact, 
with  the  convex  sides  next  each  other;  there  is 
also  an  undulating  moulding,  which  is  common 
in  abacuses  and  drip-stones,  peculiar  to  the  per- 
pendicular style,  especially  the  latter  part  of  it; 
and  another,  indicative  of  the  same  date,  which 
is  concave  in  the  middle  and  round  at  each 
extremity,  is  occasionally  used  in  door  jambs,  etc. 
In  perpendicular  work,  small  fillets  are  not  placed 
upon  larger  members  as  in  decorated  and  early 
English;  splays  also  are  much  less  frequent  than 
in  the  earlier  styles,  but  shallow  hollows  are 
used  instead.  The  ornaments  used  in  the  mould- 
ings are  running  patterns  of  foliage  and  flowers; 
detached  leaves,  flowers,  and  bunches  of  foliage; 
heads,  animals  and  figures,  usually  grotesque; 
shields,  and  various  heraldic  and  fanciful  devices; 
the  large  hollow  mouldings,  when  used  in  arches 
or  the  jambs  of  doors  and  windows,  sometimes 
contain  statues  with  canopies  over  them. 

In  Normandy  and  the  adjacent  parts  of  France, 
as  late  as  to  the  end  of  the  decorated  style,  the 
mouldings  do  not  differ  materially  from  those  of 
England,  although  there  is  often  less  variety  in 
large  suits,  the  same  members  being  many  times 
repeated;  it  is  also  very  usual  when  capitals  and 
bases  are  applied  to  the  round  mouldings  in  the 
jambs  of  doors  and  windows,  etc. ,  so  as  to  con- 
vert them  into  shafts,  to  find  that  no  change  is 
made  in  their  forms  above  the  capitals,  while,  in 
England,  the  mouldings  above  and  below  the 
capitals  are  seldom  the  same.

COLUMNS  AND  THE  ORDERS  OF 
ARCHITECTURE. 


The  different  orders  of  columns  in  Classical 
architecture— (and  they  have  been  the  models  for 
those  of  all  other  styles)— are  five  in  number: 
The  Doric  (fig.  A,  page  ix.),  Ionic  and  Corinthian 
(Figs.  B  and  C,  page  ix.),  and  the  Tuscan  and 
Composite  (figs.  D  and  E,  page  ix.),  which  are 
only  varieties  of  the  Doric  and  Corinthian.  These 
columns  are  so  important  an  architectural  feature 
that  the  exact  proportions  of  their  several  parts 
are  settled,  and  vary  according  to  the  order. 

The  Doric  is  the  oldest  and  simplest  of  the 
three  Greek  Orders.  Its  flutings  are  not  separated 
by  a  fillet,  but  by  a  sharp  edge.  The  moulding 
below  the  abacus  of  the  capital  is  an  ovolo,  but 
little  curved  in  section,  though  quirked  on  the 
top.  Below  the  ovolo  are  a  few  plain  fillets. 

The  Grecian  Doric  has  no  base,  or  rather,  all 
the  columns  stand  on  oue  base;  but  the  Roman 
Doric  has  a  separate  base  for  each  column,  con- 
sisting of  a  plinth,  torus  and  astragal.  The  ovolo 
is  in  section  a  full  quarter-circle  and  is  not 
quirked. 


The  distinguishing  feature  of  the  Ionic  Order 
is  its  four  spiral  projections,  called  volutes.  One 
tradition  is  that  they  are  an  imitation  of  the  curls 
of  an  Ionian  maiden  ;  another  that  they  simu- 
late ram's  horns,  and  still  another  that  they  are 


an  imitation  of  a  piece  of  bark  placed  by  a 
builder  between  the  echinus  and  the  abacus,  and 
which  curled  upon  drying  into  this  pleasing 
shape. 

The  principal  moulding  of  this  Order  is  also  an 
ovolo,  though  very  nicely  curved. 

The  flutes  are  separated  by  small  fillets  and  the 
lower  base  mouldings  consist  sometimes  of  two 
scotiae,  separated  by  small  fillets  and  beads, 
above  which  is  a  large  torus. 

The  Corinthian  Order  is  the  lightest  and  most 
ornamental  of  the  Grecian  Orders.  It  is  said 
that  Callimachus,  a  Corinthian  sculptor,  on  ob- 
serving some  acanthus  leaves,  which  had  grown 
up  around  a  basket  left 
upon  a  grave  and  had 
bent  over  after  reach- 
ing the  top,  took  it  as 
a  model  for  a  stone 
1  capital.  However  it  is 
probably  an  imitation 
of  older  Egyptian  capi- 
tals of  the  same  kind  which  still  exist. 

The  Ionic  column  was  higher  and  more  slender 
than  the  Doric.  The  Corinthian  was  taller  and 
more  slender  than  the  Ionic.  Its  distinguishing 
feature  is  its  capital,  which  consists  of 
astragal,  fillet  and  apophyge,  and  a  bell  and 
horned  abacus.  The  abacus  consists  of  an  ovolo, 
fillet  and  casetto. 

Rows  of  leaves  encircle  the  bell.  The  base  has 
two  scotiae  between  the  tori,  which  are  separated 
by  two  astragals. 

The  various  mouldings  connected  with  the 
Orders,  were,  in  their  design  and  execution,  such 
as  only  the  Greeks,  the  most  artistic  people  of 
the  world,  could  produce.

THE  ORDERS  OF  ARCHITECTURE, 


TUSCAN  WITH   DETAILS 


ABRIDGED   GLOSSARIAL   INDEX. 


Abacus,  the  flat  member  at  the  top  of  a  capital, 
originally  a  square  tile,  and  in  the  classical 
styles  always  square:  this  form  is  retained  in 
French  Gothic,  and  in  Norman;  but  in  English 
Gothic  it  is  usually  round,  sometimes  octagonal. 

Apse,^  the  semicircular  space  at  the  end  of  a 
building.  In  Roman  Basilicas  the  tribune.  In 
Christian  churches  of  the  twelfth  century  the 
chancel  generally  terminated  by  an  apse, 

Ball-flower,  an  ornament  peculiar  to  the  decorated 
style. 

Barrel-vault,  resembling  the  inside  of  a  barrel; 
called  also  Wagonheaded  and  Tunnel. 

Bar-tracery,  that  kind  of  window-tracery  which 
distinguishes  Gothic  work,  resembling  more  a 
bar  of  iron  twisted  into  various  forms  than 
stone. 

Basilica,  the  name  applied  by  the  Romans  to  their 
public  halls,  either  of  justice,  or  exchange,  or 
other  business;  used  as  churches,  and  afterward 
served  as  models  for  churches. 

Battering,  sloping  inward  from  the  base. 

Battlement,  a  notched  or  indented  parapet,  origi- 
nally used  on  castles,  but  afterward  employed 
as  an  ornament  on  churches,  especially  in  the 
perpendicular  style. 

Billet,  an  ornament  much  used  in  Norman  work. 

Byzantim  Style.  The  term  includes  the  styles  of 
architecture  which  prevailed  in  the  Byzantine 
Empire  from  the  foundation  of  Constantinople, 
A.D.  328,  to  its  final  conquest  by  the  Turks! 
The  plan  of  these  buildings  was  generally  that 
of  a  Greek  cross,  with  a  large  cupola  rising  from 
the  center,  and  a  smaller  one  over  each  of  the 
arms  of  the  cross,  and  sometimes  two  on  the 
nave:  arches,  round  or  horseshoe. 

Chamfer,  a  sloping  surface  forming  the  bevelled 
edge  of  a  square  pier,  moulding:  the  two  ends 
of  the  chamfer  are  often  ornamented,  and  these 
ornaments  are  called  chamfer-terminations. 

Glere-story,  or  Clearstory,  the  upper  story  of  a 
church,  as  distinguished  from  the  triforium  or 
blind-story  below  it.  in  which  the  openings 
though  resembling  windows,  are  usually  blank 
or  blind,  not  glazed. 

Clustered  Pillar,  a  pillar  formed  of  a  cluster  of 
small  shafts,  or  made  to  appear  so,  and  a  dis- 
tinguish] ng  feature  of  the  Gothic  styles.  In 
classical  and  Norman  architecture  the  columns 
are  plain  and  not  clustered,  and  this  is  often 
the  case  in  French  Gothic  also. 

Coping,  the  sloping  termination  of  a  wall  or  but- 
tress, to  throw  off  the  water:  when  forming  the 
top  of  a  buttress,  it  is  also  called  a  gablet  or 
little  gable. 


Corbel,  a  projecting  stone  to  carry  a  weight,  usu- 
ally carved.  In  Norman  work  the  corbels  are 
often  made  into  grotesque  heads,  and  the  eaves 
of  the  roof  are  carried  by  a  row  of  corbels 
called  a  corbel  table.  In  the  early  English 
style  the  corbels  are  often  carved  into  the  form 
called  a  mask  or  a  buckle,  but  heads  are  also 
commonly  used,  or  foliage.  In  the  decorated 
style  they  are  often  the  heads  of  a  king  and  a 
bishop,  especially  those  carrying  the  drip-stone 
over  a  door,  or  a  window.  In  the  perpendicu- 
lar style  the  moulding  is  often  continued,  and 
forms  a  square  or  round  termination,  called  a 
drip-stone  termination. 

Crocket,  an  ornament  peculiar  to  the  Gothic 
styles,  usually  resembling  a  leaf  half  opened, 
and  projecting  from  the  upper  edge  of  a  canopy 
or  pyramidal  covering.  The  term  is  supposed 
to  be  derived  from  the  resemblance  to  a  shep- 
herd's crook.  It  is  not  used  in  the  Norman 
style. 

Cruciform  Churches.  In  the  western  parts  of  the 
Roman  Empire  the  Latin  form  was  adopted, 
i.e.,  the  nave  long,  the  choir  and  transepts 
short;  in  the  eastern,  the  Greek  form,  i.e.,  the 
four  arms  of  equal  length. 

Crypt,  a  vault  beneath  a  church,  generally 
beneath  the  chancel  only;  used  sometimes  for 
exhibition  of  relics. 

Decorated  English  Style,  the  second  Gothic  style. 
"Windows,  showing  geometrical  tracery. 

Early  English  Style,  the  first  Gothic  style. 

Elizabeth,  the  style  of  the  Renaissance,  and  a 
mixed  style. 

Entablature,  the  horizontal  block  of  stone  or 
masonry,  lying  across  the  top' of  two  columns, 
found  in  classical  architecture;  but  by  degrees 
the  arch  substituted  for  it. 

Facia,  a  broad  fillet,  band,  or  face  used  in 
classical  architecture,  sometimes  by  itself,  but 
usually  in  combination  with  mouldings. 

Fillet,  a  small  square  band  used  on  the  face  of 
mouldings. 

Finial,  the  ornament  which  finishes  the  top  of  a 
pinnacle,  a  canopy,  or  a  spire,  usually  carved 
into  a  bunch  of  foliage. 

Gable,  the  end  wall  of  a  building  sloping  to  a 
point. 

Oablets,  small  gables. 

Gargoyle,  or  Gurgoyle,  a  projecting  water-spout, 
often  ornamented  with  grotesque  figures. 

Geometrica^  Tracery.  This  term  is  applied  when 
the  openings  are  of  the  form  of  trefoils,  quatre- 
foils,  sphericai  triangles,  etc.  This  kind  of 
tracery  came  into  use  in  the  time  of  Edward  I. 


ABRIDGED    GLOSSARIAL    INDEX 


Gothic,  the  style  of  architecture  which  flourished 
in  the  western  part  of  Europe  from  the  end  of 
the  twelfth  century  to  the  revival  of  the  classi- 
cal styles  in  the  sixteenth. 

Jambs,  the  sides  of  a  window  opening,  or  door- 
way. 

Lancet  Window,  a  window  the  lights  of  which  are 
of  the  form  of  a  surgeon's  lancet,  chiefly  used 
in  the  thirteenth  century,  but  occasionally  at  all 
periods.  At  first  they  are  single,  then  two 
three,  or  more  together  separated  by  solid 
masonry,  which  is  gradually  reduced  in  thick- 
ness until  mere  mul'ions  are  produced;  several 
lancets  are  then  grouped  under  a  single  arch. 

Mask  or  Buckle,  an  ornament  used  on  corbels  in 
the  thirteenth  and  fourteenth  centuries;  when 
looked  at  in  front  it  often  resembles  a  buckle, 
but  the  shadow  of  it  on  the  wall  is  the  profile 
of  a  human  face. 

Monastery,  in  early  times— a  church  with  three 
or  four  priests  attached,  often  called  Minister. 

Mullion,  the  vertical  bar  dividing  the  lights  of  a 
window;  it  occurs  in  very  late  Norman  work, 
but  is  essentially  a  Gothic  feature. 

Niche,  or  Tabernacle,  a  recess  for  an  image. 

Norman  Style,  commences  in  the  last  quarter  of 
the  eleventh  century,  and  ceases  during  the  last 
quarter  of  the  twelfth. 

Oculus,  a  term  applied  to  the  large  circular  window 
at  the  west  end  of  a  church,  common  in  foreign 
churches,  but  not  usual  in  England. 

Ogee,  a  moulding  formed  by  the  combination  of  a 
round  and  hollow. 

Parapet,  the  low  wall  at  the  top  of  a  building 
forming  the  outline  against  the  sky,  at  first 
solid,  then  often  divided  into  battlements,  after- 
ward pierced  with  ornamental  open-work. 

Pier-arches.  The  main  arches  of  the  nave  or 
choir  resting  on  piers  are  so  called. 

Pinnacle,  a  sort  of  small  spire  usually  terminating 
a  buttress. 

Plinth,  the  projecting  member  forming  the  lower 
part  of  a  base,  or  of  a  wall. 

Pointed.  First,  middle,  and  third  pointed  styles, 
synonymous  with  the  more  generally  received 
names  of  early  English,  decorated  and  perpen- 
dicular. 

Pointed  Arch.  This  is  usually  a  Gothic  feature, 
or  a  mark  of  transition  to  it,  but  it  occurs  also 
in  earlier  work,  before  the  change  of  style,  as 
at  Fountains  Abbey,  Malmesbury. 

Porch,  a  projecting  structure  to  protect  a  doorway. 
Quoins,  corner  stones. 

Renaissance",  Style  of  the,  in  England  called  Eliza- 
bethan, or  Jacobean. 

Rib,  a  projecting  band  or  moulding  on  the  surface 
of  a  vault. 


Romanesque,  the  French  term  for  the  debased 
Roman  styles,  including  the  Norman  style. 

Spherical  Triangle,  a  triangular  opening  with 
curved  sides,  used  in  clere-story  windows,  as  at 
Cranford;  and  in  the  tracery  lights  of  other 
windows,  as  at  Merton  and  York. 

Spire,  an  essentially  Gothic  feature. 

Squinches,  the  small  arches  across  the  angles  of  a 
square  tower  to  carry  an  octagonal  spire. 

SUme  Churches,  first  built  about  A.D.  680. 

Sunk-chamfer  Moulding,  a  feature  of  the  deco- 
rated style. 

Tooth-ornament,  an  ornament  resembling  a  row  of 
teeth,  sometimes  called  Dog's  Tooth  and  Shark's 
Tooth.  M.  de  Caumont  and  the  French  anti- 
quaries call  it  Violette,  and  it  often  bears  con- 
siderable resemblance  to  that  flower  when  half 
expanded;  it  occurs  in  Anjou  in  work  of  the 
twelfth  century;  in  England  it  is  rarely  used 
before  the  thirteenth,  when  it  is  so  abundant 
as  to  form  one  of  the  characters  of  the  early 
English  style.  In  France  it  is  used  freely  in 
Normandy,  but  scarcely  at  all  in  the  Domaine 
Royale. 

Transept,  the  portion  of  the  building  crossing  the 
nave,  and  producing  a  cruciform  plan. 

Transition,  The  period  of  a  change  of  style, 
during  which  there  is  frequently  an  overlap- 
ping of  the  styles,  one  building  being  in  the  old 
style,  another  in  the  new,  at  the  same  period. 
The  last  quarter  of  each  century  was  a  period 
of  transition,  or  change  from  the  style  of  that 
century  to  the  style  of  the  one  which  came 
after.  This  term  is  chiefly  applied  to  the  great 
change  from  the  Norman,  or  Romanesque,  to 
the  Gothic  style,  but  may  also  be  applied,  in  a 
minor  degree,  to  each  of  the  subsequent 
changes  of  style. 

Transom,  the  transverse  horizontal  piece  across 
the  mullions  of  a  window;  it  occurs  sometimes 
in  early  English,  and  decorated  work,  but  is 
far  more  common  in  the  perpendicular  style. 

Tribune,  the  semicircular  space  at  one  end  of  the 
basilica,  for  the  judges.  In  churches  copied 
from  the  basilicas,  it  was  retained  as  the 
apse. 

Triforium,  or  blind-story,  the  middle  story  of  a 
large  church,  over  the  pier-arches  and  under 
the  clere-story  windows;  it  is  usually  orna- 
mented by  an  arcade,  and  fills  the  space  formed 
by  the  necessary  slope  of  the  aisle  roofs. 

Tudor-flower,  an  ornament  belonging  to  the  per- 
pendicular style,  but  not  confined  to  the  Tudor 
period. 

Turrets,  small  towers. 

Twelfth  Century.    Vide  Norman. 

Tympanum,  the  space  between  the  flat  lintel  of  a 
doorway  and  the  arch  over  it,  usually  filled 
with  sculpture
